Printing & Copying: Now and Then
Access to information has become so simple in these few
decades. When you want to print a document from your computer, you simply press
one command to print and within seconds you have a paper in your hand. This all
seems so mundane and completely normal to us but what we don’t know is how this
process actually came in to being. Computers and printers have gone through
generations of changes and models to get to the point where they are; they are
the result of a few decades of evolution. As humans, we understand the concept
of evolution through our own experiences and how our race went through many
physical, biological, mental, physiological changes to get to what we are
today. And even then we are constantly changing. It’s the same with technology,
only that it’s much faster than us.
The first machine type copying began way early in the 20th a century after which the company Xerox was patented. It involved a manual
process of using a machine and took quite long. The first printing press was
established by Gutenberg and it would take hours to accomplish what modern
computers can now do in seconds, showing a three-fold evolution. With the advent of
modern copiers and desktop printers, office work became easier and more
efficient and eventually, we reached a point where it became about only pressing
a single button to send a command. Xerox UAE now controls not just printing or photocopying but a wide range of
functions such as debit card usage. It controls a big part of the market now
because it has expanded so much. It even invented the first computer mouse but
didn’t patent it.
Printing itself has gone through such a big revolution.
Whereas earlier only black and white prints were available, slowly colored
printing made its way up. Up until a few years ago we only experienced two-dimensional printing; now we have three-dimensional printing and it’s
phenomenal! It’s is changing how art is being made and perceived, it’s changing
textures of the printed material and it’s only going to go further up from
here. Xerox UAE has really come a long, long way and provides many office
related and other services to its clients. It is a universal name that is
synonymous with copying and reliability. Xerox has only improved through the
years and will continue to do so.
